The Needs For R&D Of Ammonia Combustion Technology For Carbon Neutrality - Part. Background And Economic Feasibility Of Expanding The Supply Of Fuel Ammonia

Along with a global carbon neutral basis, the development of combustion technologies for greenhouse gas reduction is essential. Transitional technologies that are easy to commercialize within a relatively short period of time are required for the reinforced environmental pollutant reduction regulations and fulfillment of the promise with the international community. As a carbon-free fuel, ammonia is expected to play a important role through hydrogen energy carriers and direct use technology. This paper examines the history of the energy and resource sectors up to the formation of a carbon-neutral system in Korea, and also investigates the necessity of using ammonia to advance to a hydrogen economy. In order to secure the technical feasibility of ammonia combustion, this article discusses related domestic and foreign policies, the current state of the life cycle technology development from fuel ammonia production process to utilization, the characteristics of fuel ammonia, and the possibility of application as a combustion technology. This paper is divided into two parts, and in Part 1, we will discuss the background and economic feasibility of expanding the supply of fuel ammonia.
